NFL players celebrated Halloween weekend with elaborate costumes at team parties and family gatherings, continuing a tradition of creative pregame entrances and off-field festivities.
49ers Host Star-Studded Party
The San Francisco 49ers held their annual Halloween party during the team's bye week. Quarterback Jared Goff dressed as Bobby Boucher, the waterboy from "The Waterboy." Cornerback Nate Hobbs portrayed Daejon Love, who was arrested this offseason on wire fraud charges. Defensive end Nick Bosa and his girlfriend Ella Ailiff appeared as Crimson Chin and Cleft the Boy Chin Wonder from "The Fairly OddParents." Wide receiver Ricky Pearsall wore an Austin Powers costume. Quarterback Brock Purdy and his pregnant wife Jenna dressed as Sulley and Mike Wazowski from "Monsters, Inc."
Lions and Buccaneers Join Festivities
Detroit Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson hosted the team's party and dressed as Waluigi from the Super Mario franchise, leaning into fan jokes about his running style. Running back Jahmyr Gibbs portrayed Michael Jackson, a costume he said he planned for months. Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookies showcased a blinged-out Woody from "Toy Story," a makeshift 50 Cent using aluminum foil, and a Lightning McQueen-inspired look.
Commanders' Family Costume
Washington Commanders defensive back Mikey Sainristil and his entire family dressed as grandparents, complete with gray wigs, glasses, and matching outfits.
With Halloween falling on a Saturday this year, players may transition away from costumes by Sunday, though some lingering outfits could appear during the Week 8 slate.
